Tea Strainer What do you use?

I have been using this for a couple years now:

I use an electric kettle to heat the water, and then brew in the IngenuiTea. I don't like the idea of microwaving plastic even if they say it is safe. I will probably try out their ceramic pot, "PersonaliTEA" next order from them.

Sorry. I brew in a gaiwan or yixing. No strainers for me. That being said, back when I did, there are little food strainers in the shape of a bowl with a stem that can be fit on larger mugs. I found these work as well as anything.

When you use a gaiwan do you drink from it with the loose tea in there? Or is it easy to pour into a mug.

Generally I pour. It can be tricky at first, but you become good over time. Look at;

For some inexpensive green, I'll actually do it the old chinese peasant way and drink from the gaiwan.
